mummy.

jennie has a cool mom that she blogs about. and i want everyone to know that i have a cool mom too.she came down when i was sort of half-asleep on the mattress on my floor and not cleaning and goes "this isn't sleeping music!" and starts dancing to whatever Muse song was playing.

me: Want to watch a girly movie!?mom: Iron Man?me: sure. or I recorded My Sister's Keepermom: oh! yes! and then we can paint our nails.me: (laughs)mom: i really need to redo mine. and facials! okay, that was a joke, but the nails comment wasn't.me: microderm abrasion and...cucumbers!mom: then we couldn't watch the movie--we'll just cut holes in them! so they can reduce puffy-ness on the outside of our eyes and we can still see the movie.

mom: so still want to watch the movie?me: actually, i started thinking about what it's actually about and i don't think i want to watch it right now. depressing.

me: which one of these is best?mom: all of them look great.me: that doesn't helpmom: well, stop being so creative and coming up with so many good ideas.me: oh...thanks.

mom: oh, i've seen that!dad: where did you see it?mom: probably with you. on this couch.

and she is fun to watch movies with because she laughs/cries/gasps at all the parts you're supposed to.

You know what we're going to do, right? We're going to live like we're telling the best story in the world.

We will do things that surprise others, but in our hearts we knew we could do them. -Thomas Kelly

It may seem boring, but I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most.

- Russell, Up

Love is what inspired our Heavenly Father to create our spirits; it is what led our Savior to the Garden of Gethsemane to make Himself a ransom for our sins. Love is the grand motive of the plan of salvation; it is the source of happiness, the ever-renewing spring of healing, the precious fountain of hope. - Dieter F. Utchdorf
